Abstract
Fluorescein-labeled rabbit anti-Candida albicans globulins applied as stains to dried smears from yeast cultures differentiated C. albicans from all other species of Candida except C. tropicalis and from 15 other genera (46 strains) of yeasts or yeastlike organisms, including the human pathogens. Absorption with Candida parakrusei increased the specificity of C. albicans conjugates. Preliminary results with conjugates for Blasto-myces dermatitidis and Histoplasma capsulatum indicate that these 2 species may also be identified specifically.
